Seattle does a great fireworks show on New Year’s. This year: no fog! I admit I was warm and cozy, in front of my TV.

It’s hard to know what to call a scene like this. It’s just dried hydrangea blossoms on the bush, caught in some wonderful light on Christmas Day. I thought it looked good in black and white since the colors were kind of dull. Do you like it?
